Drinkspiration: Sledge Hammer

I’ve taken inspiration from Thunder’s toffee vodka for this Drinkspiration post. Perhaps not the cheapest or easiest cocktail to source but it definitely looks to be a delicious option if you’re splashing the cash.

Ingredients:

  • 30ml Thunder Vodka
  • Champagne

Simply pour the toffee vodka into a champagne flute and top up with champagne for a quick drink. Serve with a slice of apple on the side of the glass.

Drinkspiration: Skittle Bomb

I’m a big fan of this drink, I much prefer the flavour to a jägerbomb. The name comes from the fact that this drink tastes almost exactly like you’re drinking skittles, it’s so sweet. I love it, but I would say it can get sickly if you have a lot in one night. These sort of drinks are supposedly said to be bad for you: alcohol lowers your heart rate whilst energy drinks speed it up, creating a conflict. Personally I’ve never suffered a problem from drinking these but be careful.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 can of Red Bull
  • 1 shot of Cointreau

Enjoy!

Drinkspiration: Midori Lemonade

Midori is definitely one of my current favourite liqueurs. This bright green melon-flavoured alcohol is a fun one to drink at parties and pres, it looks very vibrant. It would work particularly well for a Halloween-themed party, it’s definitely got that spooky green colour down to a T. There are various things you can mix together with Midori (champagne, for example), but my favourite is lemonade. It makes it a very drinkable and sweet drink. At 20% alcohol volume, this liqueur is at the same volume as wine and works very well as a pre drink.

Ingredients

  • Midori
  • Lemonade

I would use a shot or two of Midori and then fill the rest of the glass with lemonade. I sometimes use more Midori for a stronger drink, so experiment until you get your favourite balance.
